Please join us on Wednesday, May 9th at 7 pm at Roger Ludlowe Middle School.
Our featured speaker/presenter: Dave Pressler. He will be speaking about and showing his “Micro Paintings”.
Dave has forty years of experience in design and marketing communications, and has held key design, management and partnership positions with leading consulting firms, consumer product manufacturers and major museums. He holds a degree in Industrial Design from Rhode Island School of Design, with graduate study in Marketing. He has contributed articles to the national design journal, Innovation, spoken at conferences and is the recipient of numerous design awards.
The images in this presentation are created by drawing, painting and incising on a transparent, colorless film. They reflect the original works and the hands-on interaction that takes place between Dave and the mixed media materials with which he paints. In 1967, he experimented with aniline dyes, ground graphite, India ink and resists, and then developed unique techniques for controlling the application and flow of the materials to create images on the film. They are metaphors for birth, growth, decline and regeneration, based on his fascination with the forms and structure of the natural world and its organic forms – from the microcosm of bio-forms to the macrocosm of growth, geological formations and erosion. The artist refers to viewing these images as a visual journey of the mind. He intends them to transport the viewer into fresh ways of looking and seeing.
The meeting will include refreshments and feedback on art brought by members.
